Welcomes Him in a Speech-Old
Foes Fast Friends.
HARTFORD, CONN, Sept. 2.-The annual
reunion of the veterans of the Seventh Com
necticut regiment, once commanded by
Generals Terry and Hawley, occurred az
Lakeville to-day. After dinner addresses
were made by Gen. Hawley, Col. Charles
II. Olmstead, of Savannah, Major o. s.
Sanford, of Washington, and others.
COL. oLMsTEAD'S CORDIAL RECEPTION
A marked feature of the reunion was the
cordial welcome given by the veterans to
Col. Olmstead, of Savannah, who was in
command at Fort Pulaski when the Seventh
Connecticut took possession of that fort
after its surrender, and afterward when
the battalion of the Seventh assaulted Fort
Wagner he was i'll command of that fort

GEN. HAwLEYs SPEECH

than Gen. Hawley's words of welcome to
Col. Olmstead, and the cheers which greeted
the ex Confederate during his patriotic and
loyal speech. Col. Olmstead's daughter, too,
was greeted with great applause when in

showed that no feeling of bitterness toward
their old antagonists was entertained, and

hearty and sincere. Col. Olmstead, who
once surrendered to the Seventh, and
afterward captured number of them, and
the surviving veterans are now the best of
friends and pledged to fight together for the

FLoRIDA's RAILROADS.
Col. Chipley Makes an Argument Be-
fore the Commission.

lOT6 Ju6
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Sept. 22.-Col. w.
ID. Chipley, representing the Pensacola
branch of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
way and the Pensacola and Atlantic road in
West Florida, appeared before the Railroad
Commission to-day and argued that the
present rates of tariff are reasonable and
Just He stated that the running expenses
exceeded the receipts daily and any reduc-
ton of tariffs would result in serious loss to
the road. He claimed that the classifica-
tion of freghts used by the Louisville aud
Nashville system Is more satisfactory to
shippers generally and urged the commission
TO adopt this classification instead of the
classifications used by the Southern railroad
and steamship associations, as urged
by the other roads of the State.
Col Chipley exhibited figures show
ing that the assessed value
of the railroad track alone in some of the
western counties is by far greater than the
valuation of the entire property of those
counties before the Pensacola and Atlantic
road was built four years ago. The aver
age tariff for passengers is less than &c. per
mile and freight rates are as low as they
can be made IN the sparsely settled country
through which the road passes.
Gen. w. II. Sebring, of Jacksonville,
made some valuable suggestions to the COM
mission and argued for lower rates in many
instances.
A number of complaints from individuals
have been presented to the commission,
and they are being carefully considered.
Much time will be required 10 fix rates for
all the roads in the State. The commission
is in session daily, and will hear all COM
plants presented, over which it has juris-
diction
Col Chipley asked the commission to con-
slider the law requiring railroads to carry
separate coaches for colored passengers, and
asked if coach divided in the centre by a
partition would not be compliance with the
law, when travel does not warrant car
rying an extra car for coiored persons.
Judge McWhorter expressed his individual
opinion that il would be compliance with
the spirit Of the law and sufficient, but the
commission has no jurisdiction in this mat

COMMISSIONS TO BE PAID.
The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Road Wins its Fight.


New YORK, Sept 22-The controversy
between the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific railroad and certain roads of the
Eastern Trunk Line Association with regard
to the payment of commission by Western
roads in Eastern trunk line territory, was ter
minated to-day in favor of the Rock Island
road. The conclusion was reached when
the General Eastern Passenger Agent, A.
B. Farnsworth, of the Rock Island road
called upon General Passenger Agent
Farmer, of the Erie road, and requested an
immediate decision as to the restoration Of
the Rock Island tickets to sale
by the Erie agents Mr.. Farmer,
after consultation with his management,
issued orders TO all agents to commence the
sale tomorrow, and at the same time noti-
fed all roads of the Eastern Trunk Line
Association of his action. At once, on re-
ceiving this notice, the New York Central
West Shore and Baltimore and Ohio gave
like notice to their agents. The Rock Island
did not care to have their tickets on sale
with the Pennsylvania, Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western, or Ontario and West

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 22.-In the United
